1 Samuel 31
1 Later, the Philistines again fought against the Israelis. The Israelis ran away from them, and (many Israelis were killed/the Philistines killed many Israelis) on Gilboa Mountain.
Moun Filisti yo leve yon sèl batay ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou mòn Gilboa. Anpil nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mouri, rès yo te kouri met deyò.
2 The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadad ak Malchichwa frèt.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul. When the Philistine (archers/men with bows and arrows) caught up with Saul, they wounded him badly [with their arrows].
Batay la te mangonmen kote Sayil te ye a. Mesye ki t'ap voye flèch nan banza yo te konmanse ap vize sou li. Lè li wè sa, li pran tranble.
4 Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to thrust their swords into me and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified, and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. [The sword pierced his body and he died].
Li rele gad ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Rale nepe ou, touye m' pou bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pa gen tan rive sou mwen pou se yo ki touye m', lèfini pou yo pase m' nan betiz. Men gad kò a pa t' vle paske li te pè anpil. Lè sa a, Sayil pran nepe a, li vire l' tèt anba, li lage kò l' sou li.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Lè gad kò a wè Sayil mouri, li fè menm bagay la tou, li lage kò l' sou nepe li a. Li mouri ansanm avèk Sayil.
6 So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
Se konsa, ni Sayil, ni twa pitit gason l' yo, ni gad kò a te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri.
7 When the Israeli people on the north side of the [Jezreel] Valley and on the east side of the Jordan [River] heard that the Israeli army had run away and that Saul and his sons had died, they left their towns and ran away. Then the Philistines came and occupied their towns.
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te rete lòt bò Fon Jizreyèl la ak lòt bò larivyè Jouden wè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo kouri mèt deyò epi Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo mouri, yo leve kite lavil kote yo te rete yo, yo mete deyò tou. Moun Filisti yo vini, yo pran lavil yo pou yo.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the bodies of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
Nan denmen apre batay la, moun Filisti yo tounen pou pran zam ki te sou kadav sòlda mouri yo, yo jwenn kadav Sayil ak kadav twa pitit gason l' yo kouche atè sou mòn Gilboa a.
9 They cut off Saul’s head and took his weapons. Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news, in the temple where they kept their idols, and to the other people, [that their army had killed Saul].
Yo koupe tèt Sayil, yo pran tout zam li yo. Lèfini, yo voye gaye bon nouvèl sa a nan tout peyi Filisti a, nan tanp zidòl yo ak nan zòrèy tout pèp la.
10 They put Saul’s weapons in the temple of [their goddess] Astarte. They also fastened the bodies of Saul [and his sons] to the wall [that surrounded] Beth-Shan [city].
Yo mete zam Sayil yo nan tanp Astate, zidòl yo a. Epi yo pran rès kò a, yo kloure l' sou miray lavil Bèt Chean an.
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil,
12 all their bravest soldiers walked all night to Beth-Shan. They took the corpses of Saul and his sons down from the city wall, and they took them back to Jabesh and burned the corpses there.
tout mesye ki te brave danje yo leve, yo mache tout lannwit jouk yo rive lavil Bèt Chean, yo desann kadav Sayil la ak kadav pitit gason l' yo ki te kloure sou miray lavil la, yo tounen ak yo lavil Jabès, kote yo boule yo.
13 They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
Lèfini, yo pran zosman yo, yo antere yo anba pye tonmaren ki nan lavil Jabès la. Apre sa, yo pase sèt jou san manje.
